Honestly aside from the nutrients the infrastructure around them is crazy. For now lab-grown meat still is very expensive but I think if optimized and produced at mass scale the cost could definitely go below what meat from animal facotries costs

That people aren't willing to even question how animal suffering has been normalized to the extent it has. I'm not fully vegetarian or vegan even if I'm trying to reduce meat consumption. But I've had this conversation with people and some don't even want to discuss this while eating arguing it ruins their appetite. I think its a great thing that Lab-grown meat could end the suffering of animals in many ways in the future. And people will look back and ask how we could ever do something so awful to animals.

What I think is sad is that for the short foreseeable future animal suffering will still be treated as normality and nothing will change until there is no reason or way it will inconvenience humans in any way to shift away. I find that morally appalling to some regard

Honestly as sad as this sounds... I think long term when lab produced meat becomes more affordable than mass-produced meat that will be the start of the time of people moving away from killing animals for nutrition in horrendous conditions bit by bit. If this perseveres some countries might even start banning the worse forms of how animals are kept

Don't worry, more often than not its the same even for people without it. Like how tf should i know if the edge of the bicycle wheel just being slightly over the corner should be considered part of the bycicle or not

No silly, freedom of speech is only good when people say the thing that agrees with what I already believe

Crazy how somebody is even mentioning the fact, that Russia can fit multiple times in itself, but only, and only if rotated correctly. I also love the sentence used to conclude by ChatGPT:

Geographers still don't fully understand why Japan matches Japan so closely.

Any Geographers here to explain? But no seriously I know this is frequent but the way it speaks to make its statement seem believable by citing non-existent expert certainly is not one of the better sides of LLMs.

You know, thats where a bunch of the natural language training for these models come from. (But sure Grok is probably even aimed at this type of speech

Or buy and rip DVDs to put it on your Jellyfin homeserver

But it might be more expensive than it should be for those tickets and it limits the days traveling through your own country in outbound and inbound days. Not optimal for someone living near borders and still interrail often doesn't even have seat reservation. This needs to be booked through a different portal. Also private train operators are often not included at all which is another downside

Depends how weak the bond is. I think there are plenty of chemical mixes that wouldn't even withstand a destructive condition for even a plank time

How is it intolerant to say that wearing a skirt doesn't really need to have anything to do with gender? In this case it was since it was more comfortable in the heatwave and as a form of protest.

 

I know Wero is still in its infancy and the digital Euro is still a few years away, even if you believe there'll be no delays. But depending on where you live you can already do a lot for EU financial independence.

  • Use cash (very easy but not ideal in many situations/online)
  • Use a national payment providers:
    • Germany 🇩🇪: Girocard
    • Netherlands 🇳🇱: iDEAL
    • France 🇫🇷: Cartes Bancaires
    • Poland 🇵🇱: BLIK
    • Italy 🇮🇹:Bancomat/PagoBancomat
    • Many other options, check for your country
  • Use SEPA direct debit mandate or wire money directly if you can
  • Sign up to a european crypto exchange and use it for direct purchases. although I get if you don't like crypto but this is just for direct purchases

Otherwise American Payment providers usually get at least 1% and if you use card payment a lot over time that can really add up. This also mostly makes sense when buying from a european company. For US companies it really doesn't matter much. I've been trying to replace Amazon with Otto and I use SEPA direct debit mandate to avoid fees.

 

Since I was curious I checked the actual amount of upvotes and downvotes of my post on mbin. It got 56 upvotes and 66 downvotes according to them since I was curious. Seems I hurt their little ego when I mentioned blocking their instance.
